Fishing for Notoriety

Fish can be slippery little bastards. But yoga teacher G.P. Vijaya Kumar didn't let that stop him from swallowing 509 fish through his mouth and then blowing them out through his nose in the space of an hour. Ananova reports that Kumar decided to attempt the caper after watching an American man who holds the record for expelling the longest single spaghetti strand out of his nose with a single blow. "This is a kriya (method) in yoga where the nostrils are purified by swallowing fishes and bringing them out of the nose," he explained. "I swallow the fish and take deep breaths to guide it through my nose. There are times the fish might glide back to the mouth, but by inhaling hard it can be brought up quickly."
